Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I'm running SuSE 9.2 Pro and have installed the latest version of xine from sourceforge. I have installed libdvdcss-1.2.9 to allow playback of DVD's.

I find that for 90% of my DVD's this works fine, but I have a handfull of films that still refuse to play. I get the dialog box that tells me that the source is encrypted and that I need to install libdvdcss.

This does not appear to be a region setting, as most of my Region2 DVD's play, but some don't.

I have tried all 8 region settings in the xine configuration, but with no luck.

If anybody has solved a similar problem, I would be very grateful to hear what they did...

That has solved the problem with a couple of them, but I still have some that I can't play. I get even less out of these than I do with xine! Xine will play the titles, then complain when I triy to play the film. MPlayer does not even get this far. It simply turns the video window black for a few seconds as it reads the DVD, then goes back to it's initial launch state.
